I like to watch videos while playing, and sometimes i need to pause the video, or select a new one-so i'll windows/tab out of the game to do that. However, everytime i've done that, the game crashes hard. It also causes discord to crash/close too, if its open.

Is there going to be any fixes for this? Or maybe a way to play in borderless or windowed and tab out of the game without it crashing?

Hi @glossy ice. Thank you for the report. May I ask which platform you’re currently playing (Steam PC/Xbox Game Pass)? 🙂

#

May I also ask for your device’s specifications details (CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD/SSD etc.)? You can check how to do it here https://techguided.com/how-to-check-your-computer-specs/ 🙂

@dusky sluice Was this issue patched? I saw this was reported a long time ago. I've had this happen like 3 times to me today. My whole PC freezes when I tab out and play a Youtube video, then click the open game on my other screen. The two monitors "blink black" randomly until I hold "alt tab" again. I have two different monitors and play on Steam with mouse and keyboard, game version 1.1-1223.

Specs:
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz, 32G Ram, 64-bit operating system and processor

Been having this issue too...

Reproduction Steps: I have my game in windowed fullscreen mode so that I can easily tab out to look things up when needed or do other things. Occasionally, when I do so and then come back to the game, it is completely frozen and after a couple of minutes will completely crash. No other applications crash, but when it happens my entire computer runs like sludge to the point where simple web pages won't load. Sometimes that's the only way I know it happened while I'm tabbed out. Game will not fully crash unless it's pulled to the front again which sometimes it won't do because the computer is now running so slowly it has issues doing even that.

Repro Rate: Unsure, at least once per time I play. I've been using other devices more lately to look up stuff and what have you because of this happening, so I dont have anything exact.
